This might be the most bizarre thing we’ve come across in a long time and we’ve seen some bizarre things. Apparently the president of the Spokane NAACP chapter is under investigation for lying about her race.

On her application to serve on the commission, she identified herself as African-American. But public records, including Dolezal’s own birth certificate, list her biological parents as Ruthanne and Lawrence Dolezal of Montana. The Dolezals told KXLY Thursday that Rachel is their biological daughter and that they are both white.

How on earth does one get away with that kind of lie? She pretended to be black long enough to not only join the NAACP chapter, but actually become president. Incredible.

Did she spend every morning applying heavy layers of makeup? Nobody caught her slipping? Not once? Well, she’s been caught now but I don’t even…

It gets even more bizarre

Multiple interviewers have reported that Dolezal told them she was born in a teepee in Montana. The detail appeared in 2012 in a profile for Spokane Coeur d’Alene Living magazine and several times in interviews and features published by EWU’s student newspaper.

“That is totally false,” Ruthanne said.

Dolezal’s mother said she and Larry lived in a teepee for a while in 1974, when they were first married and three years before Dolezal was born.

“That was the end of living in the teepee,” Ruthanne said.

Ruthanne said other claims attributed to her daughter in the media are untrue.

Rachel did not have to use bows and arrows to hunt for her own food, Ruthanne said, and she never lived in South Africa or Colorado. Ruthanne said she, Larry and the younger adopted siblings moved to South Africa in 2002, and lived there until 2006. Larry was stationed there as an employee of the faith-based Creation Ministries International.
